Watching your video now! I will post any Easter eggs you missed here!
Edit: you are the best!! Great video! Let’s go Aussie era!!
Best episode yet imo. I've been a fan since I discovered the arcade game as a kid (I'm 37) and played almost every video game. Dazzler has a gig in Deadpool. And a good *Swifty* from me to you...!
@Screencrush 👍Whatever that even means lol. 🤔...🧏♂️🅿️🕒
Hey love your videos. But also Adler is the Last name of Mystiques wife in the comics, Destiny, whose real name is Irene Adler. So, chances are that there was no real Dr. Adler.
📺🥰😍🤩😘😆😅😁😄😃😀
Black Panther foreshadowing? Tell me you saw the mountain when Storm and Forge hit the cliff.
X-Men 97 should have been 18 episodes instead of only 10
We will get season 2 and 3 in 2025
Then it wouldn't be out until 2026.
It's only 10!?!?!?! Wtf
Stream it nonstop as much as you can. Background of your house while you’re doing chores, watching something else, playing a game etc. Show Disney through those constant streaming numbers you love this series and we will not only get more but sooner.
give me 1000 episodes idc
It really heartwarming to see jubilee shine in this episode, and showcase her powers as well given how she was shelved ,and in the xmen movie so happy to see her getting the recognition she deserves.
Thanks for using my comment 😏
Yep, Jubilee is such a fun energizer bunny.
She doesn't shine. She Sparkles. Now, let's go to the mall.
Today.
😩NOBODY ASKED YOU PATRICE!!!!! @@chefdean7257
Honestly noone would care about her if she wasnt randomly put into the 90s cartoon. Her and Gambit were never as "big" of characters until then. While other much more important characters got ignored because they weren't in the cartoon! (Nightcrawler, Colossus, Emma Frost, Kitty Pryde, etc)
You completely forgot to mention how we see a different Jean in the opening. Until last week we saw Jean with her hair down. When the real Jean came, not only did she put her hair into a ponytail, but the Jean the intro now has her hair in a ponytail.... I was actually expecting this to happen in the intro and it totally did.
👍
Great observation, I missed that thanks for sharing.
They address it in the ep 5 breakdown
I felt that Abcissa's speech (VA: Alyson Court) was a reminder/message to us older fans.
It's like a message to pass the torch to the new generation because some of the old fans would love nostalgia but this is a new generation being introduced and Me being apart of that new generation,this was adapted for both the old and the new one
Concisely stated
@@reginesaguin1191
I'm glad they change things up and are using new characters etc
I just think they're moving way too fast with these storylines not letting stuff be dramatic enough or sink in with the overall tone
"Hey, I'm maybe the only original cast member who doesn't sound inappropriately old (Rogue sounds like modern day Dolly Parton) but I stepped aside because I'm the 'wrong' race to play someone who was born in America and doesn't have an accent". I'm *fine* with the X-Men being different 30 years later. What I have a problem with is them all being racial segregationist clones in the comics now.
Who @ 5:38 thought there WiFi messed up
This happened in another vid on another channel I follow. I don't if it's the editors, that these are rushed out, or YT being stupid. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think it was a copyright strike so they cut the offending material and reuploaded because a couple of minutes later hes talking about the arcade game like he had talked about it earlier.
the artwork on the game cartridge in the Motendo in Jubilee's room is actually a mash-up of the art from the Sega Genesis X-Men game and X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse for the Super Nintendo
You forgot to point out a small but noticeable detail. When Forge told Storm to get inside the machine she looked a bit panicked and nervous. Then right before she stepped in she gave out a huge breath before inhaling, when she stepped inside she began to nearly hyperventilate before the scene cut. It briefly yet subtly showed us her claustrophobia.
I miss that X- men game i used to play on the sega genesis it bring back alot memories, and nostalgia see the throwback this episode was so prefect.
Why you flexing your family's wealth on my husband Ryan??? 100 Demerits!
I just want to say I appreciate that instead of rushing your content out to be the first to recap, you took the time to really cover everything in the episode. Well done!
They should’ve waited until this episode to have Storm change her hair to the mohawk. It would’ve made more sense.
Easy for you to say when you don't get paid any cents
Fun fact: According to the prequel comic series, it’s explained that Storm changed her hair to fit/blend in at a concert that Dazzler was performing at that was being held in honor of Prof. Xavier, and also to keep with the times as the new millennium was approaching.
Forge going right for the " i love you" after how long exactly ? Classic schmosby.
In the comics, it's for quite a while, but it feels like a weekend here.
It's ok. Storm agreed to marry a dude from another planet after knowing him for 20 minutes in the original show.
"unbelievable"
I feel like we saw 2 different full moons hinting that at least a month has passed.
LEGEN- WAIT FOR IT.........
DARY @@louisroy4911
Was hoping to hear magneto say his infamous catch phrase from the video game. “Welcome to die!!!!”
Same here, whole time he was in the game I'm just yelling at the screen "Say the thing!"
I wanted the “master of magnet”
I was hoping for “D1e X-Chicken!!”
😂 yes! Say can anyone tell me why magneto in this series even when his shields are up he still needs to block projectiles with metal? I saw this play out with Pryor and now with jubilee (even though it wasn’t the real magneto)
Of course for today it would be correction properly saying Welcome to your death
Even though the system looks like Sega, I thought the cartridge looks a lot more like SNES’s X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse.
That's exactly what it's meant to be, further foreshadowing that Apocalypse is the secret boss of the series.
No, it looks exactly like the game cartridge art for X-men on the Sega Genesis
@@wdavis911 That game doesn't have Apocalypse's big head in the background like the cartridge in this episode. Got look it up and compare them.
Dazzler in Dark Phoenix not in X-men Apocalypse
I loved how they gave us amped up Jubilee
I have a feeling they wont go the comic book route with the Adversary cause that would be too much, Im expecting a similar approach to what they did with the Goblin Queen, its gonna be adapted but on a much smaller and contained scale to fit the show
Agreed but I'd 😍to see both comic book stories (Fall of the Mutants, with the Mutant Massacre before it, and Inferno) in live action 🤩
The studio that did TMNT Shredder's Revenge need to do the same for X-men and this time give us more characters.
It was 1000% clear that the demon has the same voice actress as Storm. Like, I thought that was the part of the plot. I haven't read those comics so I just presumed that it was some kind of Storm's dark side she needs to prevail.
Maybe the whole "Don't ask" about Dazzler being busy was a low key Easter egg to her rumored appearance in Deadpool 3
T Swift
That would be a crazy deep cut. Hoping it's real.
I literally shouted this exact same thing out loud this morning when I watched this episode!
I'd be fcking in love with Marvel much more if Taylor Swift will be Dazzler.
Lame, Taylor Swift doing Black music like Funk and Disco in 2024 is tone deaf
You can see the adversary in its owl form watching her from the shadows when she eats Forge’s chilli
You got a timestamp?
@@VoltageShock30 19:03
@@abbeyfrisco thank you. I didn’t see it the first time after he mentioned it, but I have now. Creepy stuff😂
Also when storm and forge are at the cliff the the mountain is has an owl face 17:09
@@Swampunrendered yeah I thought that too but thought I was reaching 😂
It was my least favorite episode so far but it was still good. Best marvel TV show so far
Doug tell Ryan he accidentally said Jean on the wanted poster next to quicksilver but it’s Wanda 🥹❤🫶🏽
Also I'm pretty sure "Rogue" is Xavier (the bald head a dead give away) Rogue wouldn't be introduced until several months after the Days of Future Past storyline.
And that it ain’t Magneto either it be Gambit
He fucked up a lot
It's intentional.
It's a common tactic for UA-camrs to misattribute something so that people will comment on it and increase engagement.
Dazzler also wasn't in Apocalypse. She was in the Dark Phoenix movie.
Actually, making innocent mistakes that enflame people in the comments is super easy, barely an inconvenience @@TNEQL
Did you notice the sound effects were from the X-Men arcade game?
I loved it when Storm slapped Forge. Like, don't tell me you love me after knowing me for two days!
In my opinion this was the weakest episode by far out of the 4 we have so far, I understand why people enjoyed it but jubilee isn’t my favourite character and I feel the story barely progressed during this episode, it started to progress during the storm half until it finished abruptly
7:40 Struck me as the joke of Batman always saying "My Parent's Are DEAD!!" moment 😂
So, X-Men Arcade is getting a re-release?
I would kill for an Updated version of the X-Men Arcade game, it's still my all favorite Arcade game and one of the best X-Men games of all time.
@@matthewhostetter8974 I have it on my Xbox 360. It used to be available through XBLA. It doesn't need a remake or an update or anything, because it is perfect as it is. Just a re-release.
TBF, there are much better X-Men games, but this one is 6 player!
I had immediately guessed they would use the original Jubilee voice. It just made way too much sense here. That said Jubilee's new voice actor is actually really good also. I'm glad the original got to feature in some way though.
This was another great episode! I loved seeing the beginning of the "LifeDeath" story for Strom, and I can't wait for part 2 of this mini-arc! I can already tell this emotional character exploration of Storm is going to be one of my favorite mini arcs in the entire X-Men animated series franchise by the time part 2 completes the story. The "Motendo" stuff was also super fun and creative! Revisiting some of the greatest highlights from this iteration of the X-Men in 16-Bit from like an old X-Men arcade game spotlighting their greatest moments was super cool and fun! I also loved having a Jubilee episode because she's one of my personal favorite members of the X-Men! Having it be her birthday was also a really nice way to explore how far she's come since episode 1 of the original series! I'm also really starting to warm up to Roberto. It's been nice to see the world of the X-Men through his eyes as a newcomer to this family. 👀🎆 Overall, X-Men 97 continues to be my favorite thing Marvel has made on Disney Plus! 8/10 episode this week! 🙌🏽🌟✨️
Also in opening credits Jean Grey goes back to having her hair tied back like in the original. Up til now in this X-men series she has been shown in the opening credits with her hair down as her clone wore it
Leading me to the theory in the og when she started putting her hair down, that was Madeline.
It’s so funny to me that this is how they’ve chosen to subtly show keen viewers who is and isn’t the clone lol
@@Kollieprime9 very 90s kid show of them lol 😆
The Owl is in the rafters in one shot during dinner, but then missing/gone in the next. Very sneaky
It transformed right?
Days of Future Past, no the. I don't know why it bothers me so much
It drives me crazy, too
“Mojo finally doesn’t blink”
*immediately cuts to a scene of him blinking* 11:16
In the original show
I think you might have missed when Jubilee and Abscissa made their final attack move is a reference to Naruto doing the rasen shuriken with his clone. 14:16
Dial-up 56k modem baby!!! they only to jack into the internet back in 97....we've come a long way, baby.
It’s not Jean (on the picture) but it’s the scarlet witch.
Jubilee finally showing her Omega Level powers
Been waiting to see her progress. And the way she cut loose on the game Magneto was awesome.
The last time I saw a glimpse of her true powers was when she was the leader of the new Excalibur in Outworld.
@@ZeeB... Thanks for the tip. I'm gonna hafta look that up.
Did I miss a joke about Forge's Daisy Dukes? Are we just skipping low hanging fruit now?
This episode was wild. From the homages to the Genesis, SNES and the OG Arcade X-men games, the crazy 16-bit video game-inspired soundtrack, and one of the most deranged versions of Mojo ever. Plus so many easter eggs from the intro to the show itself. So many easter eggs, I loved it. The only thing missing was "Welcome to Die!" from Magneto. On top of that we got the start of Lifedeath, which includes the Adversary and leads into the somewhat forgotten "Fall of the Mutants" storyline where everyone would believe the X-men were dead. I've also heard Marvel has already green-lit a third season. X-Men 97 continues to be one of the best things Marvel has produced in years.
FYI from a pharmacist about the sponsor: The sponsor is a red flag. Don't engage unless maybe you have tried everything else and you are desparate. And not even then.
Breakdown: No clinically significatn scientific evidence of efficacy and hiding behind proprietary blends as ingredients so the customer doesn't know exactly what they are getting.
If you have hair loss, ask your doctor or pharmacist if they can help you.
Did anybody notice that in the intro, Jean's hair switched back to the classic ponytail since the original Jean is back?
Yup! Real jean!
That X-Men Game 🎮 & Cartoon Show Is Masterpiece Creation.... Don't Leave Wolverine Claws Out Too Long He Gonna Go CRRRAAAAAAZZZZZY.... Gambit.... Nightcrawler.... Cyclops 😎 Need Some Help Call Archangel.... Storm.... Rogue... & Iceman..... Too Damn 😎
Jubilee is such an energiser bunny.
Wait, was that a Power Rangers sheet in Jubilee's room lol
SABAN
"GET OUT OF MY HOME, YOU DAMN DEMON!" 😂😂😂
I get Roberto not using his powers around NYC, but the instant he knows he's not there the fact that he's so hesitant to use them even to save his own life is annoying and completely illogical.
Which makes it a phobia.
I'm gay in the closet from NYC, I used to be nervous about going to Pride events, understand now? @@unlimited_pizza
I'm in my 40s and don't post my face picture online because I don't want to be recognized and outed as gay, understand now?
@@seewhativescene you are comparing the internet in 2024 with what existed in 1997. MySpace was still 8 years away, in 1997 people used dial up AOL. Hell, he was hesitating to use his powers while trapped in an inter-dimensional video game where his life was in danger.
So no, I don't "understand now" because you are comparing two entirely different things in two entirely different contexts to be argumentative and dismissive.
@@andrewshandleYou are comparing our world of 1997 with a fictional world where mutant detectors, sentinels, and alien superscience is commonplace.
That was Shadow king
Love NORTHSTAAARRR reference i hope we get him eventually.
What dod you think of the episode?
I didn't like mojo in the original series but this is better
The only bad thing about X-Men '97 is that it's not released on a Saturday morning.
It was decent episode looking forward to life death part 2 next week to see storm character development.
I thought it was really good.
Love all the video game nostalgia and The Matrix references. I've always thought Jubilee was super lame(from TAS) but seeing what she really can do with her powers is really cool and I like the romance between her & Sunspot. Obviously the emotional journey going on with Storm is really well done. Loving the show so far!
Lamest one so far.
The character development in this episode felt so rushed
you know... polaris is also magneto's daughter, and quicksilver's half sister.... just saying
What even is this series? Only 14 minutes to show fans 40 and younger that not only Jubilee doesn’t suck but has a very bright future ahead of her?
MCU needs to keep 97’s writing team as the movie’s & whatever side stories/live action series they do on Disney +.
They tell the X-Men stories the best & most receptive.
I feel like this show is so rushed. We never get to really delve into anything it all resolves so quickly
Should’ve seen the original show
Just like the 90's cartoon
I absolutely agree. The original series lacked character development in favor of taking its time with the plots, and this show seems to have the opposite approach
@@johnp5250 sadly it isn’t the 90s anymore
@@dartheverstar9564 werk
The Adversary is real. Rewatch Forges eyes when Storm points out the owl. He looks away in shame.
Fucking dial up
I see all the love this episode is getting, so I guess I'll be in the minority, but I didn't enjoy this episode at all. The first half was maybe a 2/5 on a good day. I loved the Wolverine and Jubilee Crunch story where we get Abcissa (future Jubilee) in the comics, but this version was just not as interesting and like other episodes felt rushed. Cool story that could have been 3 episodes long, crunched ( no pun intended) into half of one episode. :( I also just don't care about the Sun Spot/Jubilee relationship either.
The second half of the episode was ok.. I love Storm and so that helped, BUT man "rushed" is an understatement. WTF.. Forge professing his love for Storm.. where the fck did that come from?? I mean they just met! Weird. The 2nd half was probably just as bad as the first, but because it was Storm and because it sort of pushes the main story forward a bit, I would say it was better so a generous 3/5.
So a total score of 2.5/5. Just a weak episode.
In a 24 episode season, a filler like this is fine and sometimes a breath of fresh air, but in a 10episode season, this was totally unnecessary. Thinking of that I'd knocked off another point maybe.
I know I know.. Not every episode will be a banger. Hopefully next week gets back on track.
We didn't even acknowledge the throw away line about "Magneto was right"
Wow that's really deep and meta. The implications are vast
Dazzler call out is because she's a playable character in the X-Men 6-player Arcade Game. That game is based on the "Pryde" pilot. So the comment is a snide comment how from that show to this one Dazzler got replaced by Jubilee.
A couple of Easter eggs you don't mention:
- Thunderbird shows up on the Genosha scene.
- The hand that grabs Jubilee and Sunspot looks a lot like final-boss Apocalypse's hand in X-Men vs Street Fighter
- The Motendo is more like a mix between a Genesis and a SNES (look at the controller ports)
- The extra life "X" simbol reminded me on the extra HP you get from Wasp and Quicksilver on Data East's Captain America and the Avengers. They also found it after breaking furniture, that makes it hilarious.
The Bastion picture I thought it was actual Black Tom, a villian that "protected" Moira in Muir island and we see way back along Juggernaut in the original series (I think?).
thank you for your videos! great work!
Bloody hell your perceptive, top marks on this exam paper, meanwhile I’m pausing & rewinding this vid & watching 97 twice over sure I’ve missed something it not sure what ?😂
Bless his heart. He doesn't know what A Different World is.
Here's our chance to make it, if we- Focus on our goals (evolve kiddo)
It's like people who say there should be a Black "Friends" when "Friends" was a Caucasian "Living Single".
@@solvseus all of this.
When Magneto appeared in the video game, I really hoped he was going to say “I am Magneto, master of magnet!” I also was waiting for him to call Jubilee an “X-chicken” like in the arcade game.
Your breakdowns shouldn’t be longer than the episode I just watched. Ridiculous.
I was really disappointed that video game Magneto didn't say "I am Magneto, master of magnet! Welcome to die! X-Chickens!" like in the classic Konami arcade game
At 5:54, is that not Wanda Maximoff between Quicksilver and Wolverine on the Days of Future Past wanted poster?
5:39 couldn’t agree more
Tt's likely not Jean, but Wanda. Color scheme at the loading screen doesn't fit Marvel Girl costume, and slihouete does not match the more red Phoenix one.
If Storm's dark side would manifest, it would make more sense to manifest as the Shadow King, not as the Adversary.
Can't wait to start this series. I'm on season 4 of the original. I just have to ask, am I the only one who wonders why Rogue doesn't get one of those collars to take home to wear around home? I mean, she's been in one at least once, Gambit has been in a collar at least 3 times. The last time was when he was on Magneto's comet or whatever. (So far...) So if she wants to be able to touch, girl, take one! Or have any of the geniuses there at the school to make you one. So you can have your man and be able to enjoy hugging your friends.
Morph is quickly becoming known as the "out of pocket friend" in the group.
🙃 I feel SEEN as the out of pocket friend
Cable travels through phonelines in phone booths in the original animated series, released before the Matrix. It wasn't an homage to the Matrix.
Also X men did sort of have secondary segment or multiple storyline. This concept was ventured in the savage land saga as episodes that season featured scenes of xavier and magneto brought the savage land and find themselves on the run from Mr. sinister's mutates.
Hello do you not see the Bruce Lee Game of Death poster behind her you guys suck at Easter egg finding!! 8:06
DC usually does better in the animated shows but I think if that if Marvel rebooted the rest of 90’s shows, they will take the win this time.
Thought it odd they didn’t make more of Storm’s Claustrophobia when in Forge’s machine. But they did have her take a deep breath before going in
Where was the Mojo theme song :(
LOVE that from the og series too!
I think they only bought the X-Men theme song rights. The rest of the character leitmotifs (e.g. Rogue's theme, Storm's theme, Wolverine's theme, Mojo's theme, Apocalypse's theme, Magneto's theme) aren't part of the deal. 😅
@@steve_yuRight! They all had one, OMG 😍
@@AlbAlPasa Weeell, that's more of a mark of laziness and cost savings. The more you use leitmotifs, the less new music you have to make in an episode :)
Something I've noticed is that Black Panther exists in this universe and Forge is the second man to confess love to Storm. I'm just wondering if we'll ever see T'Challa in this series since the original showrunner promised cameos.
You missed something I noticed that was delightful! Motendo Magneto follows the same pattern in this as he does in the Genesis game. He flies and throws junk at you, and he’s invincible when he’s flying. As soon as he lands, he’s vulnerable for a moment as his electro-shield comes down. This the pattern referenced by Jubilee, and the junk he throws around looks the same too!
I always said if they ever do a live-action Mojo it should be played by Eddie Murphy
Thought this episode was real weak. Especially after last week.
My trouble with MOJO in the MCU is the possibility of a MODOK type CGI.
Nah I'm all in for tacky naff MODOK. Brilliant stuff.
That was crazy to get an Xmen the last stand quote in there with " you of all people knows how fast the weather can change.
i thought the divorce court reference to kramer versus kramer a 90s film.
Episode 4 was trash 🗑️… absolutely loved the first 3
Thanks for the breakdown ❤
Especially at 5:38. Totally clarifying.
Nandos pitch for a Mojo centric Deadpool 3 was so damn good. Definitely worth a watch
Ryan really gets cooking at about 10:45 🔥🔥
Dazzler was also one if the characters in the 1992 X-men arcade game.
MISSED EASTER EGG when Forge says “I’m not building you a faster horse” it’s a nod to Henry Ford from when he built the model T. He said if he asked his customers what they were looking for in a car they would’ve told him they wanted a faster horse. It’s also part of the reason how the Mustang got its name.
It’s funny how Hollywood keeps telling us to forget the past (The rise of skywalker , Dial of destiny, X-men 97…). But all they seem to do is make sequels & reboots.
LMAO you watched that new Indy didn't you?:😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
“She’s 18, she’s a grown woman.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂
I've been liking it, but some of it has weird rushed pacing. This could have been 2 eps. The 3rd one with the whole Inferno thing could have easily been 3. Take your time guys...
Watched the most recent ep and... BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR!!! 😭
Man, all I know is that this season has had absolutely BANGING art, especially in all the reality-manipulation scenes. The haunted mansion, Jean/Madelyne meeting of the minds, this Adversary stuff…there’s been a handful of “holy shit” moments.
I am gonna admit the 2nd story in the show was Amazing ❤😊
Storm and Forge's love story is definitely in better taste than her with Arkon in the previous series.
MOJO could be a parody of DAN SCHNEIDER..... "QUIET ON THE SET" 🤫
Reddit dark humor is more than enough for a FBI warrant🚨
Great breakdown! I completely missed OG Jubilee voicing the older version, nice catch! I guess this also confirms that 5 years have passed in show continuity as Jubilee mentions being 13 in the first season. I gotta say though, this episode didn't really work for me being split in two, especially in a 10 episode season. There wasn't anything bad, in fact the visuals and easter eggs were great but neither story got the time they needed. Jubilee living in the past has never been a substantial aspect of her character to this point in the show so that whole lesson didn't seem necessary and Sunspot wasn't really integral to that nor did he do or say much to advance his character, they didn't earn the kiss at the end at all so that fell pretty flat. This also meant the entire Storm/Forge relationship gets about 5 minutes of screen time and they just had to fly through what was an iconic arc in the comics. With Inferno last week being crazy rushed, the wasted Jubilee arc & the meat of Lifedeath's arc getting less than 10 minutes there are definitely pacing issues with this show. It's still awesome but it's not perfect.
The “spiral” on Forge’s board also could’ve been a reference to Spiral, Mojo’s associate, also seen in this episode.
Loved this episode, the Xmen 97 is simply perfect. What an amazing animation and continuing the best animation of the 90's. 10 out of 10 !!
A lot of these are a stretch to say they are an intentional reference to anything. The spiral drawing on Forge's wall is just some random technobabble artwork. If anything, it's a radial graph and that's all.
You ranting about this echoes Charlie from always Sunny going off on tangents
